The date and time pre-sale tickets go on sale. This is relevant if you are running a pre-sale (fan club, VIP, or early access ticketing). Set the start date and time, end date and time, and the timezone for pre-sale.On-Sale Date
The date and time general admission tickets go on sale to the public. This is when “Buy Tickets” buttons become active on your tour page. Set the date, time, and timezone.Pre-Sale Configuration
If you are running a pre-sale, expand the Pre-Sale Settings section:Enable Pre-Sale
